Cell Science Systems and The Alcat Test® for Food Intolerance Receives 2016 North American Company of the Year AwardFrost & Sullivan (News - Alert), the Growth Partnership Company, has recognized Cell Science Systems Corporation (CSS) with the 2016 Best Practices Award as "North American Food Intolerance Testing Company of the Year." The award was based on Frost & Sullivan's recent independent analysis of the food intolerance testing market. CSS (News - Alert) was the only provider to receive the score of "excellent" with 9.5 points (out of 10). The award is based on visionary innovation, technology/performance and customer impact. The analysis showed that CSS demonstrated a remarkable performance in the last 20 years as the market leader, based on its flagship, the Alcat Test for food/chemical sensitivity - a cellular test to assess which foods, chemicals, molds, functional foods, additives, or drugs irritate the body, causing inflammation-induced and/or chronic conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, skin rashes, obesity, arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue and many others. "We are delighted t be recognized as the leader in the food sensitivity and intolerance testing market. Recent clinical testing continues to indicate the importance of understanding the relationship between food sensitivities, inflammation and the innate immune system in our overall health and wellness," stated Roger Deutsch, President and CEO of Cell Science Systems. A recent study conducted at Northern Illinois University reported benefit to body composition, disease symptoms and total body inflammation to subjects following the test. With the success of its flagship product, CSS has expanded its offerings to cover bowel disorders such as celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease and also addresses chronic disease with various molecular tests, such as its MethylDetox Profile, which helps customers understand their genetic constitutions and address health issues by changing diet and nutritional intake. The CSS Alcat Test is the only technology in this market segment that has been clinically validated according to rigorous standards by independent bodies. A major key to the Company's success is its full vertical integration. CSS is not only a lab but also an FDA-registered medical device manufacturer that voluntarily maintains ISO EN 13485 certification. It not only performs the testing but also manufactures the instrumentation and substances used in the testing process, thereby achieving higher quality control. CSS is based in Deerfield Beach, FL and operates a wholly owned subsidiary in Germany.
